Matching Gifts
Through corporate matching gift programs, your company may offer the benefit of matching a portion, or all of your contribution to the Tara Miller Melanoma Center. Through corporate matching gift programs, some companies match a portion, all, or a multiple of the value of your contribution to the Tara Miller Melanoma Center.
Your corporate human resources office can provide details on your company's program. Typically, your human resources office will furnish a matching gift form for you to include with your charitable contribution. We will complete our portion of the matching gift form, return it to your employer, and then receive a match (based upon the parameters of your company's program). This simple step will multiply the impact of your original contribution.
If you would like to make a gift now and have it matched, please go to our online giving site and enter the name of the company that will be matching the gift. If you have questions or would like to learn more, please call 215.898.5069 or email your questions. Or, visit the University of Pennsylvania's matching gifts database to see if your company sponsors a corporate matching gift program.
